Edgar Wright has made a career making modern-cult favorites that seem to coincide with current popular trends. While others may have missed some trends by a year or two, "The World's End" has made the timing with the apocalyptic craze. As mundane as this subgenre is getting, Wright's film is anything but a parodical breathe of fresh air that creates a unique story at the subject it is making fun. The laughs aren't constant, but the humor is present throughout, and movie fans (especially cult ones) will have fun while watching. Underneath, there is heart to the story which is a nice change for Wright's films (there were even a few depressing parts). However, Wright offsets the sadder moments with humor constantly. Viewers from small towns will also have fun relating to the film and the several characters throughout.
Cheesy: 3.5/5
